Dry Gewurztraminer wine. Fair Isle partnered with a Yakima grower to use 450# of organic Gewurztraminer grapes in a low gravity base beer of Pilsner malt and spelt from Linc MALT with the goal of achieving the same notes we love about the wine in our beer.

After de-stemming and foot stomping, these crushed grapes underwent re-fermentation with the base beer mentioned above for 70 days. Before packaging we blended in a small amount of an oak aged saison that rested on Syrah pomace. The resulting beer is a beautiful, light-orange hue.

Named Lorraine after a region just west of Alsace, we are enjoying the lightly spritzy and notes of notes of lychee, pear and floral bouquet that Gewurztraminer adds for the tapering of summer days.
